Article III-283 1. The Union shall implement a vocational training policy which shall support and complement the action of the Member States, while fully respecting the responsibility of the Member States for the content and organisation of vocational training. Union action shall aim to: (a) facilitate adaptation to industrial change, in particular through vocational training and retraining; (b) improve initial and continuing vocational training in order to facilitate vocational integration and reintegration into the labour market; (c) facilitate access to vocational training and encourage mobility of instructors and trainees and particularly young people; (d) stimulate cooperation on training between educational or training establishments and firms; (e) develop exchanges of information and experience on issues common to the training systems of the Member States. 2. The Union and the Member States shall foster cooperation with third countries and the competent international organisations in the sphere of vocational training. 3. In order to contribute to the achievement of the objectives referred to in this Article: (a) European laws or framework laws shall establish the necessary measures, excluding any harmonisation of the laws and regulations of the Member States. They shall be adopted after consultation of the Committee of the Regions and the Economic and Social Committee; (b) the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt recommendations. --------------------------------------------------
